Backpacking for month in europe average expenses!?

i'm backpacking with 2 other friends through western europe for a month. We have our plane tickets, passports, and eurorail global pass all that paid for already. i just am concerned about the average amount of money we will be spending for a month out there, like hostels for each night, food, etc. thanks!Backpacking for month in europe average expenses!?
Hmmm... well, the Euro is pretty much in place everywhere which is good because you won't have to worry about conversion. I did what you did, but only for two weeks. I found that England ate most of my money up, but it appears that you are not going there.



I think that you should budget for 30 euros a night at least on hostels. You need at least 10 euros for food for each meal. Each time you visit the internet cafe is another 2 euros, so do that minimally because that adds up. If you are buying smokes, bring your own from here. If you are drinking booze, buy bottles of wine at the grocery stores from 2 euros and up (be careful though, cheap wine gives me a headache). Entertainment, such as museums and art galleries are generally cheap, but other things like clubs may be expensive for cover charges.



I say that in total, you will probably need to bring at least 5,000 euros to have a comfortable trip. That is more than $1000 a week. Shopping is a whole other ball game. . .

Go with the minimum of 50 euros per day per person. The old continent is very expensive.
